Why, of course the government should step in for irresponsible parents.

Seriously. Just head down to the local ^subsidized^ public library and call-up the browser history of any one of the “public” PCs.

Exercising First Amendment Rights lead to a criminal result?

We must therefore require all people who speak or read to first register each act with the government!

The victim’s distraught father has demanded that MPs implement controls.

That won't stop it. Hold the parents of the perpetrators responsible and sue them out of their welfare checks.

The trend of replies on this thread is pretty encouraging, Uncle. Apparently most Freepers (so far) don’t want the Obama admin to have authority to censor the net.

you will be amazed at how many “conservative” freepers will come out and act as if children are the same as adults.

Can you define “porn” in an unambiguous way, not requiring any judgment on the part of ICANN or a court, in, say, one hundred words or less?

violent crime including rape has gone down.

I wasn't aware of that, where did you get that information?

He called for restrictions saying, “Surely the safety of girls like my daughter is more important than people’s liberty licentiousness,” the Daily Mail reports.

He should have used the right word. "Liberty" is not the problem.

All it requires is a universally accepted definition of "porn".

No, it doesn't. The sites are already up and running and it is mind-bogglingly simple to find them.

These boys said they were re-enacting scenes they'd seen while viewing porn. That kind of eliminates sites akin to "Playboy" as their choice for viewing. Just start at the bottom of the barrel and work your way up. Any company that includes language on their sites such as "Keeper of Records" will be a fine start.

The 15-year-old boy was convicted and sentenced to three years in prison. The younger boy, described as more aggressive, has already been sentenced to four years. Both admitted to charges of rape and false imprisonment.

A virtual slap on the wrist and hardly a deterrent to other potential brutal rapists.

So the film version of “Lolita”, which contained no explicit sex scenes, would be OK?

Violent crime peaked around 1991 and have gone down. The violent crime rate in the USA has not been this low since 1963.

While porn has seen an explosion in availability, incidents of rape in the USA keeps going down.

Correlation is not causality; but in this case there isn’t even correlation between access to porn and rape.

If its a minor there should be no sex scenes or nudity at all, IMO, but it wouldn’t be ‘porn’.

What do you mean by ‘explicit’??

There are some types of porn which I certainly imagine would turn my stomach just as they would yours.

I make a point of avoiding that sort of stuff.

Explicit, to me, means that genitalia are visible on screen.

photos and videos depicting humans engaged in copulation or other explicit sexual acts with themselves, other humans, animals or objects.

Not looking to make the internet squeaky clean, let’s just dial it back a notch.

And yet it could not be so for those tasked with assigning the new domain of .xxx

Old saw: It's a crappy job but somebody's gotta do it.

BTW...another tag to search for would be sites that ask for verification of age over 18. Dead give away.
